1 !BEER Token for you
You need to own more BEER (6 BEER allows you to send 1 BEER per day)
Are you two following each other around? @palnetvoter & @beerlover I have a mute button guys!
Hotel California - that is not the easiest tune to play. Well done! 😊
Do you sing? 😊
Haha no I don't sing...much. I'm just getting back into playing the guitar after a very long break. 30+ years!
@molometer, good to see you! :)) this is the first time I see you play the guitar, so great! even here in Venezuela that song is recognized by all the guitarists (except me, I never tried to play it hahaha I think because everyone already did it) :))
It was difficult to understand how you checked the tuning of the electric guitar, because of the language, I have never touched an electric. The one I do check is the electroacoustic, for example: the sixth string played on the fifth fret has to sound the same as the fifth string, and so on, I imagine you know what I say :)
Hi Elison, sorry about the delay in replying but I have been sick. I'm ok now.
Yep everyone plays that song because it is so fun lol
Yes this is the way to tune when you have no other instrument or tuner to work with. You need a good ear to make it sound right. :-)
Hey @molometer! There is nothing better than the feeling of well-being after being a little sick, I'm glad you're better :))
Thank you @elisonr13 I'm fully recovered now and trying to toughen up my fingers as I haven't played for decades.
I'm practicing daily and getting better all the time.
Practice is so important to keep our skill levels up. I have a long road ahead but I'm enjoying playing again.
👍🙌
oh of course, the practice makes the teacher :))
My fingertips are now tougher horay! 👍🙌
It's good to be playing again.
I play guitar every day and I still don't have strong enough calluses, these blessed hands of a girl LOL
I confess that my enemy on the guitar is the bars, that! I really can't stand doing bars for a long time, so beautiful they sound hahaha
Intonation setup is a love hate thing with me. I can easily waste a few hours trying to get it setup perfectly. Fortunately once its setup and you keep the string guage the same it stays set. A fender on the other hand...

Haha I have heard that about fenders. This guitar has held it's intonation since I set it but the weather has been very hot so I was expecting it to lose it's tone but it hasn't yet.
Sorry for the late reply but I have been as sick as a dog. Man flu lol
I've tried torquing the vibrato down on the body of my fender but certain notes can cause it to rattle on the body so i have to fiddle around with the floating bridge setup. Sorry about that flu i eat raw garlic to try and get rid of mine when i get them.

Have you considered using some small rubber washers under the bridge? It might help to dampen down the rattle.
Good idea about the garlic. I had forgotten about it's health benefits. 👍😋
Really coming along nicely!
